RTX 4090 laptop GPU gets 20% performance boost after shunt mod, beats the mobile RTX 5090, on average — reduced resistance boosts power to 240W

Shunt mods on mobile devices are always exciting because they seem to push the boundaries of what’s possible in a more practical way. Laptops are thermally constrained and, thus, power-limited compared to their desktop counterparts. Even a fully specced-out mobile GPU can’t compete against its desktop variant, so when someone tries to break through the manufactured barriers to unlock its full potential, well, we let the results speak for themselves. And the numbers coming out of this Reddit user’s…
